Liangdu, a man dressed in white walked on the street, the street was bustling with people, she looked around, and the crowd seemed to be surging in one direction. The corners of her slightly white lips rose, and she shook the folding fan in her hand, it seems that this Liangdu City is quite lively today.

As soon as she folded the fan, she raised her head slightly and looked at the sky, perhaps because it was almost summer, and the day seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Is this just like this case of silver embezzlement? It has entered the white-hot stage, and what awaits is the final judgment.

Just as she was about to walk forward, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves stomping the ground behind her, and the neighing of the horses was deafening. Listening to this voice, Yun Yan frowned slightly, the people in this cool capital are becoming more and more bold, horses are not allowed on the streets, and these kings and nobles are really lawless.

"Child, my child, don't ......" Suddenly a terrible woman's voice came from behind, and the voice was full of despair.

Hearing this, Yun Yan suddenly turned his head, and at the end of his gaze, a five or six-year-old child stood in the middle of the street, and was greeted by two or three people riding tall horses, and the person in front was dressed in a brocade robe, with an angular face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a pair of eyes full of gloom. He waved his whip and looked at the child in front of him, and suddenly he grabbed the reins. However, the distance was too close to pull the horse at all.

Seeing that the horse was about to step on the child, suddenly a white figure shuttled by, and she grabbed the child and flashed to the side.

"Shhh Seeing this, the surrounding crowd retreated into the distance, not daring to approach.

Yun Yan put the child on the ground and whispered, "You're fine." ”

The child looked at Yun Yan, stunned for a moment, and then began to cry. Seeing this, the child's mother hurriedly ran over and hugged the child aside.

The man on horseback glanced at the man in white on the ground, his brows furrowed, and suddenly his mellow voice came, "It's okay, right?" The tone was cold.

Listening to this voice, Yun Yan looked at the child who was crying bitterly in her mother's arms, she frowned slightly, only felt the anger in her heart surge, turned around directly, looked at the person on horseback, Qingjun's face was full of indifference, and asked: "If I hadn't picked up this child just now, do you think he would be fine?" ”

The man on horseback looked dark, he looked at the man in white in front of him, and did not speak, but a man in a strong suit behind him stepped forward, looked at Yun Yan and shouted: "Presumptuous, do you know who you are talking to?" ”

Do you know who you're talking to? Listening to this sentence, it brought back some memories of Yun Yan, as if someone had said this at that time when she had just entered Liangdu a month ago.

The corners of Yun Yan's mouth hooked slightly, and he said with a chuckle: "Is it because of who you are, you can disregard other people's lives?" Animals still know the preciousness of life, but people themselves don't know it. She looked mockingly at the man on horseback.

The man in the brocade robe had a stunned expression, and his thick eyebrows were twisted, was he scolding him for not even being as good as a beast? The person behind him looked at Yun Yan and said angrily, "You ......" As he said that, he pulled out the sword at his waist and was about to make a move.

At this time, the man in the brocade robe suddenly turned around, his gloomy eyes glared at the person beside him, and the man was stunned and retreated respectfully.

"What do you want?" Looking at the white-clothed man in front of him, the man in Xuanyi asked in a deep voice, and there was no change in his emotions in his dark eyes.

A smile tugged at the corner of Yun Yan's mouth, and she said indifferently: "It's not what I want, but what do you want?" It seems that you should be the one who almost bumped into someone, and it seems that you should be the one who apologizes. ”

The man in Xuanyi's eyes constricted, looking at the man in front of him, do you want him to apologize? It was the first time anyone had dared to speak to him like this, and it was a thin man. It's just that those eyes are extraordinarily sharp, and people don't dare to underestimate them at all. There seemed to be a smell of gunsmoke rising between the two of them.

After a while, the man in Xuanyi suddenly withdrew his gaze and said to his subordinates behind him, "Give that child a hundred taels of silver." ”

Silver? Hearing this, Yun Yan snorted lightly, turned around, and said with a sneer: "Sure enough, it's the way people like you do things. She looked ahead, probably those princes and grandsons thought that money could solve everything. However, she glanced at the woman holding the child, and perhaps money was more important to her than an apology. Thinking of this, she walked straight to the front.

Looking at the departing man in white in front of him, the man in Xuanyi's eyes sank, what did he mean by this kind of person?

A man behind him whispered, "This person ......"

"Leave him alone." The man in Xuanyi said indifferently, looking at the man in white in front of him, this is the first time he has seen such a look, clear as a spring and cold to the bone, but that look makes people want to explore, but there is a hunch that he will meet him again soon. With a slight groan, he waved his horsewhip and ran straight ahead.

Looking at the fast horse that left beside her, Yun Yan raised her eyes and met the gaze of the person on the horse, she was in a daze, that person was full of a killing aura, if it was a killer, how could he dare to swagger and ride into Liangdu, what kind of person is he.

At the entrance of the mansion, where can you still see the entrance, the outside has already been surrounded by the crowd, looking at the people around her, Yun Yan stood aside, she sighed slightly in her heart, in fact, she will not have any impact on this result when she comes, it's just that I always want to see and see what happened to Gao Qi!

Looking at the crowd, Yun Yan looked for a loose place in the crowd, she secretly lucked her internal strength, let the crowd get out of the way a little, her thin body slowly squeezed in, standing in the corner of the most edge of the gate, she breathed a sigh of relief, it was really not easy to get in.

With a "snap", above the court, Li Zhiye suddenly slapped the hall in shock, and shouted angrily: "Who is in the hall? When I saw this official, I didn't even kneel! ”

Under the public hall, a man in a white prison uniform knelt there, he was unkempt, and his face was full of decadence, but next to him, a man in a splendid suit stood there, he was completely different from the person kneeling on the ground, he was shy, his head was high, he looked at Li Zhiye and sneered and said: "My uncle's official position is more than half a point higher than you, kneel to you?" I'm afraid that Lord Li can't sit on this chair steadily. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar outside the court, and everyone was indignant, and some people even scolded directly: "This kind of big corrupt official, at this time, is still so arrogant, it should really be dragged out and cut down." ”

"That's right, he was so rude in the court, do you really think that he is the uncle of the country?"

"Is there still a royal law here?"

……

Hearing this, the corners of Yun Yan's mouth hooked slightly, and she glanced at the angry looks of the people beside her, her eyes turned slightly, looking at Gao Qi in the court, she wanted to see how long he could be arrogant.

With a "snap", Li Zhiye was shocked again, he looked at Gao Qi, and said coldly: "Come on, take the criminal Gao Qi to kneel on the ground." ”

At this order, two officials immediately walked out of the honor guards on both sides, and they went directly over and pressed Gao Qi to the ground.

Gao Qi shook his hands and shouted: "You are a little Fu Yin, you dare to be so rude to your uncle, and his Japanese uncle will never let you go." ”

"Here, there is no national uncle, only Wang Fa!" Li Zhiye sank his face and said.

"Good!" The people who were watching the trial outside applauded after hearing Li Zhiye's words.

Looking at Gao Qi, who had already knelt down, Yun Yan nodded, this Li practitioner is not bad, it is really rare to be able to ignore the powerful.

"Silence!" Li Zhiye said loudly, and suddenly the entire yamen was silent.

Looking at the kneeling people in the hall, Li Zhiye continued: "In the hall, who is Yang Ao? ”

The man in the white prison uniform kneeling below raised his head, revealing his unshaven face, and he said in a low voice, "I am." ”

"Did you escort the disaster bank to the disaster area for disaster relief?" Li Zhiye asked again.

"Yes." Yang Ao said without raising his head.

Li Zhiye nodded and asked: "Do you know that the 1.5 million taels of silver you sent to the disaster area were only 150,000 taels of silver in the end, and 150,000 taels of silver were only one-tenth of the beginning, how do you explain this matter?" ”

Glancing at Li Zhiye, Gao Qi said unhappily: "Master Li, my uncle remembers well, you have interrogated Yang Ao twice when you were here last time, and he had already confessed at that time, if you continue to ask like this, the result will naturally not change." ”

With a cold snort, Li Zhiye said directly: "This official has never asked you anything, if you say more, you will slap your mouth!" ”

Gao Qi glared at Li Zhiye and said angrily: "You ......" But after looking around, the eyes of those officials looking at him were full of fierceness, and he had to hold back his anger.

"Last time, you said that you embezzled those disaster silver, but after the last time, we found out those missing disaster silver, Yang Ao...... If you recruit from the truth, this official may be able to plead with the emperor for you. How can such a great traitor be let go? If you continue to shield you, I am afraid that you will become a sinner for eternity. Li Zhiye continued with a calm face.

Yang Ao took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Li Zhiye above, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said, "Master Li, I admit it...... The last time I didn't tell the truth, that day I was ordered by the emperor to escort the disaster silver to the disaster silver area, before that I had gone to see a person, he told me that this 1.5 million taels of silver is a lot of money, and it is not enough to feed the poor ghosts in the disaster area. At his suggestion, I had to give him 750,000 taels of silver, and then along the way, officials from all over the country dredged up and went to 600,000 taels of silver, and he also told me that I should win over those magistrates, and only 150,000 taels of silver would be left for disaster relief in the disaster area. I had committed perjury before, but because my family was in his hands, I had to obey orders, but I know it......" He took a deep breath, tilted his head and said, "People are doing it, the sky is watching, I have to say all this." ”

As soon as Yang Ao's words came out, the people outside were even more boiling at the moment, if it weren't for someone outside to stop them, I am afraid they would have rushed in a long time ago.

Listening to Yang Ao's words, Gao Qi's face next to him couldn't help but turn pale, did he even care about the lives of his own family?

Li Zhiye nodded and said, "So, who is the person you are talking about?" ”

"Uncle Gao Qi!" Yang Ao didn't think about it, and said directly.

When Gao Qi heard this, his face changed greatly, and he immediately said angrily to Yang Ao next to him: "Yang Ao, you don't want to spew blood, when did your uncle instruct you, you just want to get away with it, so you deliberately slandered me." ”

"Silence!" Li Zhiye shouted, he glared at Yang Ao, and said in a deep voice, "Gao Qi, a few days ago, more than one million taels of silver were found in the courtyard on the outskirts of your city, of which 750,000 taels of silver were sent to the disaster area before. ”

Gao Qi opened his mouth, his eyes rolled slightly, he thought for a while and said, "No, no, this must be someone framing me, I was there to find the person who wanted to frame me, so I ......"

"Looking for someone? Hehe, it seems that the official is going to pass on the witness. Li Zhiye immediately shouted outside, "Come on, ask someone to come over." ”

Witnesses? Gao Qi was slightly shocked in his heart, when did there be a witness? Could it be that Gaoke has been caught? How is it possible, even if he is caught, he will not betray him! But who could that witness be but him?

There was a lot of discussion at the door of the yamen, Yun Yan's eyebrows were slightly cold, human witness? She hadn't heard of this, but seeing Li Zhiye's confident appearance, she was relieved in her heart, so that Gao Qi could be convicted.

At this time, the crowd suddenly got out of the way, and a man in a pale yellow brocade robe suddenly appeared in the public court, looking at the person who came, Yun Yan's face changed, and he hurriedly turned around, why was he here?

As if sensing a gaze and noticing himself, Mu Qingyuan suddenly turned his head to look at the crowd, there were no special people, they were just some dawn people.

Looking at the person who came, Li Zhiye stood up, saluted him and said, "Fourth prince." ”

Mu Qingyuan walked to Yang Ao and stood up, looked at Li Zhiye, and said with a light smile: "Lord Li doesn't need to be polite, continue to try the case." ”

At the edge of the yamen, Yun Yan slowly stretched out his head and looked at the man standing inside, what is Mu Qingyuan doing here? Could he be the so-called human witness? Suddenly she thought of something, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and this scene seemed to be even more exciting. But in this way, she frowned and looked at Li Zhiye, so he was his person. No wonder!

Li Zhiye sat down, his face regained his majesty, looked at Mu Qingyuan below and asked, "Fourth Prince, what did you see when you took someone to investigate the Gaoqi Courtyard that day?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Gao Qi hurriedly looked at Mu Qingyuan, he frowned tightly and shook his head at him.

Hearing this, Mu Qingyuan glanced at Gao Qi next to him, looking at his expression of signaling himself not to speak, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he immediately turned his head, looked at Li Zhiye and said: "When the king of Japan went with his subordinates, he happened to see Gao Qi digging up the silver that he had embezzled. There were many people who saw this scene that day, and this king was telling the truth. ”

"Gao Qi, with the evidence of the fourth prince, do you still want to deny it?" Hearing this, Li Congye's eyes fell on Gao Qi and asked.

Gao Qi opened his mouth, he didn't answer Li Zhiye's words, but looked at Mu Qingyuan, he sneered and said, "Do you think you're doing harm for the people?" Do you know that if you do this, you will lose what you want most? I'm afraid, you'll never get it. ”

Mu Qingyuan's eyebrows shrugged upward, a trace of coldness flashed on his face, but it was only for a moment, and when he looked at Gao Qi again, he seemed to have changed into a sigh, and he said regretfully: "Uncle, it's not that this king doesn't want to help you in this matter, but if you do something that hurts the people like this, this king can only kill his relatives in righteousness." Uncle, you can admit your guilt, maybe your father can open the net. ”

Looking at Mu Qingyuan, Gao Qi's eyes were full of disdain, he never thought that one day he would be calculated by his own nephew, snorted lightly, he suddenly laughed loudly: "Haha......"

With a "snap", Li Zhiye slapped the shocked wood again and shouted, "Silence! ”

When Gao Qi stopped laughing, Li Zhiye continued: "In this way, the case of disaster bank embezzlement can be regarded as both human and material evidence, Gao Qi, do you still want to deny it?" ”

Gao Qi sneered, he suddenly stood up, turned around, looked at the people outside, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Do you all want to kill your uncle?" Heh......" He turned to look at Li Zhiye again, and said with a sneer, "But don't forget the identity of your uncle, I am the queen mother's nephew, the emperor's cousin, who dares to be disrespectful to me and ask for your guilt, my uncle wants to ask you for your guilt!" Ha Lu Ha ......" The arrogant laughter suddenly sprinkled the entire court.

"Come on, arrest Gao Qi and press him into the prison, since he has confessed his guilt, how to deal with it, this official will report to the emperor!" Li Zhiye said coldly, looking at Gao Qi's gaze with a hint of coldness.

Outside, Yun Yan stood there, only to feel that his heartbeat seemed to have missed half a beat, and finally, Yang Ao was about to be questioned, heh, it was really happy.

The two officials came over and directly set Gao Qi up, Gao Qi moved his body in a mess, and shouted: "You dare to move your uncle, your uncle will not let you go, and the queen mother will not let you go." ”

And at this time, Mu Qingyuan suddenly walked to Gao Qi's side, he was expressionless, and said lightly: "There is one thing I forgot to tell my uncle, it is all the intention of the Queen Mother that this king will come here today, she said, you can't defeat the entire Gao family because of one Gao Qi." Uncle, you should understand what the Queen Mother means. With that, he stepped back directly to the side and stopped looking at Gao Qi.

Gao Qi, who was still struggling, wilted after hearing this, he stood there dejectedly, is the Queen Mother going to abandon him? How is it possible, how can it be?!

On the ground, Yang Ao suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Zhiye, and said, "Lord Li, there is something I have to say, otherwise I will have a troubled conscience for the rest of my life." ”

Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed on Li Zhiye's face, and he asked directly, "What's the matter?" ”

"That was the rebellion of Dingguo Gong a few years ago, in fact, I made perjury at that time, Ding Guogong did not collude with Wei Changming, he and Wei Changming are just gentlemen's friends, and the two are old friends. It was only because Gao Qi wanted to bring down the Li family at that time, and I was confused for a while and listened to Gao Qi's instigation, so I framed Dingguo Gong. I know that I am guilty of a great sin, but even if I am to be spurned by all people, I have to make this matter public to the world and make the country innocent! Yang Ao's dirty face was full of persistence, in this way, he was worthy of her, and if he met in the dark, he would dare to meet her.

Li Zhiye stood up from his seat suddenly, his face showed a shocked look, he looked at Gao Qi who was kneeling below, and after a while, he said, "Are you serious?" ”

"Those who are about to die, don't dare to say half a lie!" Yang Ao said solemnly.

At this time, Gao Qi, who was tied up by the officials, said loudly: "Nonsense, Yang Ao, you are framing your own uncle, and your uncle did not instruct you to frame Dingguo Gong at all!" It's you, it's you! ”

"Silence!" Li Zhiye came back to his senses, he looked at Yang Ao, and said in a deep voice, "This matter must be reported to the emperor. ”

Yun Yan stood there, unconsciously holding the eaves of the door with her hands, looking at Yang Ao's relaxed appearance, she opened her mouth, her face was also full of surprise, she didn't expect that he would be willing to stand up and return her grandfather's innocence, after all, if he really said it, I'm afraid he would never have the possibility of surviving. Suddenly, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, maybe he really loves his mother like this. It's a pity that at that time, my mother didn't know what to do!

However, at this time, out of the corner of Yun Yan's eyes, she glanced at a black figure, she suddenly turned her head and looked at the right, a man dressed in black, he was wearing a straw hat on his head, and he couldn't see his face clearly. He seemed to be looking inside the courtroom, and his gaze was awe-inspiring and familiar.

Yun Yan stroked his forehead, who is it? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, look, that time, when Yang Ao was being tried, this person also appeared, thinking of this, she directly pushed the crowd and wanted to walk over.

The man in the straw hat suddenly turned around and walked out of the crowd. Looking at this scene, Yun Yan was slightly anxious in his heart, and vigorously pushed away the person beside him.

Finally came out, Yun Yan looked left and right, the person had not gone far, just in front, he directly raised his foot and was about to chase, and at this time, on the right, suddenly a hand grabbed her arm, and a mellow voice came, "Sure enough, it's you!" ”

Looking ahead, Yun Yan frowned, no, that person turned to an alley, feeling the force on her arm, she turned her head, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and said impatiently: "What do you want to do?" Let go! However, looking at the visitor, a trace of consternation flashed on her face, it was him.

Looking at the white-clothed man in front of him, looking at it so closely, he found that her lips were red and her teeth were white, and the man in Xuanyi said indifferently: "It seems that this premonition is really accurate." ”

"Do you want to avenge the blow you just made?" Yun Yan glanced at the hand holding her right arm, and she sneered, "So I think highly of you. ”

Was he being sarcastic? The man in Xuanyi looked at the white-clothed man in front of him, his brows furrowed, a trace of displeasure appeared on his resolute face, and he said coldly: "No one has dared to talk to me like this yet." ”

"Am I going to be happy that I'm the first?" Yun Yan said with a sneer, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Let go!" ”

"What if I don't let it go?" The man in Xuanyi said coldly, and a powerful momentum suddenly erupted from his body, indescribably stiff and cold.

Yun Yan raised her eyebrows, but unfortunately her left hand couldn't be forced, she shook her right hand suddenly, and was about to make a move, and at this time, another voice came.

"When did the second brother become interested in men? But this one doesn't work! A figure suddenly appeared, he was dressed in red, his long hair was flying, but there was no smile on his handsome face, he stepped forward and hit the man in black clothes directly with one hand, and when the man in black clothes withdrew, he held the man in white in his arms with his long arm, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
